Obviously all animals would be sensitive there becuase they have their brainstem there. When touched there it hurts and a headache is caused. Just wanted to show you! And great instructable! My dog is always hyper when someone comes in my house and then I use this technique and man! My dog is like asleep after! Thanx!

Your dog is a Jack Russel, while min is a Maltese, and a very cute GIRL one at that. I think it's quite clear that most people will think that Malteses are cuter.

It does work with cats as well. I found out by accident with my timid cat who loved it.

If you gently touch your cat's eartip, he'll shake his head and sneeze.

yeah I was watching Animal Planet and they were showing calming massages. I saw that you could do many long strokes from the forehead to the tail if you wanted.
